A Thrifty Fall

Just a little post to show you a project that I have been working on. I figured a short small post would be a lot better than no post.

Here is a arrangement that I put together for the season. I made the paper flowers with scrapbook paper that I got on clearance, and vintage buttons that I bought at various garage and estate sales. You can find a great tutorial on how to do it here. I can usually find the buttons for $1.00 for a big jar. The flowers and berries are from my stash and where originally purchased at yard sales for .05 cents to .25 cents. The pitcher was $2.00 at an estate sale and you can read more about it here. So here she is in all her glory in her home for the holidays.

These wood boxes which I love sit on top of a small cupboard. I needed height in that area and this served the purpose perfectly. I paid $2.00 for the large one and $1.00 for the small one and the one that is next to it.

Sorry for the blury picture my camera is on it's last leg.

More on this area latter. I really like how it has turned out. So stay tuned!!
